The Big Brother Finale aired last week, at this point I'm sure everyone that wants to watch it already has, so there should be no spoilers, as you've had a week to watch it. First things first, the finale episode was really good, for several reasons, for starters there was a lot to get done in the hour and a half, there was the final HOH Competition, the final houseguest arrive to the jury house, the live eviction, the interrogation, and finally declaring a winner, a lot of times the finales of reality shows are full of fluff making you wait till the last second to find out who won, the last episode of Big Brother however was action packed, really never a dull moment. And of course the other reason I liked it so much, Rachel won!!!!! While Rachel may be unpopular with almost everyone else, especially devoted Big Brother fans, there's been something I liked about her since Day 1, its not a psychical thing, although physically she looks great, I think I liked her simply because everyone else didn't, I tend to do stuff like that. Rachel wasn't just hated by Big Brother fans, she was hated by the other houseguest just as much, if not more so, she was a contestant last year, and when she reentered the Big Brother house this year she was public enemy number 1, and walked in with the biggest target on her back, and yet in spite of being the biggest target for an entire summer Rachel ended up winning, something I was very happy about. One thing I learned this summer though, Rachel makes it really hard to like her sometimes, times like her hiding in a bush crying, or flipping out over small, trivial things, but for every instance of her being unlikable she would follow that up by winning another competition, the girl was dominate when it came to competitions.
Of course the most dramatic and explosive moment of the summer in the Big Brother House was when Shelly turned on Jeff, that led to classic Big Brother drama as Jordan, who is so calm and so sweet went crazy on Shelly, and for good reason, Shelly's actions definitely got the blood boiling. Something interesting that came as a result of Shelly turning on Jeff, one of the most popular players in all of Big Brother, was her family started to receive death threats. While I was on board the Shelly hate bandwagon, I think its safe to jump off now, Jeff won the viewers favorite houseguest award which gave him $25,000 and Shelly was the deciding vote in Rachel's win, as Rachel won Big Brother by a vote of 4 to 3.
As much as America may hate Rachel, at least she played the game, the other two contestants Porsche and Adam were to of the biggest floaters to ever play the game, but at least Porsche was consistent with her alliance, Adam literally went wherever the power lied that week. Neither were great game players, and both only won competitions at the end of the season, when all of the strong players were kicked out (except Rachel of course) luckily neither of those two won, they didn't deserve it.
Another thing I noticed about this season is Jordan must be the nicest and sweetest person on the planet. As if that wasn't noticeable the last time she was in the Big Brother house, Jordan gave up a call from home (which she really wanted since she had no communication with the outside world) and basically threw in the towel to help Rachel move on to the final 3. Why did Jordan do that? Because Rachel had been looking out for her since Jeff was voted out, that mindset goes against the normal game play in the Big Brother House. Plus I think Jordan had the funniest line of the summer when talking about Porsche, saying all she (Jordan) knew about Porsche was she liked to wear bikini's and host competitions.
Evel Dick was only in the Big Brother House for 5 days, and yet it was his idea to form the veterans alliance, as Dick said, if Danielle didn't turn on her alliance it could have been the most powerful in Big Brother History. Danielle deciding to turn on the veteran's alliance was the biggest move of the Summer, the ultimate goal at the beginning of the season was for the veterans to make it to the final 6, and then fight it out, that would have been so much fun to see, as a result of Dick leaving all of a sudden and his daughter Danielle wanting to make a big game move and turn on her alliance for no reason, what ended up happening was both sides of the house started picking off the strongest players, so instead of Jeff or Danielle in the final 3 we were left with Adam and Porsche.
As dumb as it may have been to turn on her alliance it was far from the dumbest thing someone did this past season. In week 5 the houseguest were told to choose their nominations wisely, because that person would have a chance to get back in the house. What they didn't know was the 4 previous houseguest kicked out would also have a chance to come back. Lawon was convinced that he would receive some special power once he was evicted and then came back, and told the HOH to put him on the nomination block and vote him out. That's exactly what happened, Lawon was kicked out of the house, and instead of getting a special power, he had to compete with Brendon to come back in the house, Brendon would win that competition, and Lawon was kicked out, it was the first time I'd seen someone volunteer to be voted out.
All in all, this was far from the most dramatic season of Big Brother, and it wasn't the most entertaining, there is no question that if Evel Dick didn't leave this season would have been very different, but it was still a good and fun season. In my opinion the worst season of Big Brother is better than any other reality show. After watching the premiere episode I knew I wanted a veteran to win this year, I liked all of the returning vets, and I was happy that a veteran won, I was happy a floater didn't win, and I was happy that for all the hate and all the targets she had on her back since day one somehow Rachel won. Now its time to start counting down the days as we wait for another season of Big Brother to begin..
